UK-based fintech Yaspa has successfully raised $12 million in funding to support its expansion into the U.S. iGaming sector.
The funding round was led by Discerning Capital and signals strong investor confidence in Yaspa’s next phase of growth.
The company, which specializes in frictionless payments and user verification for gambling platforms, plans to establish a new North American headquarters in Atlanta.
With the U.S. online gaming market rapidly expanding, Yaspa aims to provide streamlined onboarding and payment solutions tailored to meet strict regulatory standards.
Yaspa’s technology focuses on enabling instant deposits, withdrawals, and player verification within seconds—key pain points in the current U.S. online casino landscape. The firm believes its system will improve user trust while reducing fraud and compliance issues for operators.
CEO Ben Fraser noted that the funding will be used not only for market entry but also to develop advanced analytics and risk mitigation tools specific to U.S. regulatory environments.
Yaspa also plans to onboard local talent and partner with American operators to ensure seamless integration.
The company is entering a highly competitive space, but with its track record in Europe and the backing of major investors, Yaspa aims to become a key infrastructure player in regulated U.S. iGaming.
